ELECTION OF OFFICERS
OF the Improvement Association OF tn
CITY and County of Sacramento.

OF the Improvement Association of the
City and County of Sacramento.
The meeting of the Improvement Asso-
citation of the City and County OF Sacra-
mento was held in the Office of E. X. Alsip
last evening to elect officers. About 40 men,
bers of the Association were present. The
meeting was called to order by the Chair
man, DIR. G. L. Simmons, who briefly
stated its object.
2. T. Plat moved that a committee of
five be appointed by the Chair to retire and
select a President, Vice President, Secretary
and Treasurer, and an Executive Commit
tee of 25.
Clinton L. White said he had discovered
since entering the meeting that some one
had made up a ticket, ard had the same
printed and judiciously distributed. This
savored too much of First Ward political
movement, and although the names upon
the ticket were not Objectionable, still he
did not think ticket so placed In the field
and elected would give entire satisfaction.
In other words, it did not look like square
deal, and was not in the interest of pub
lie and popular boom. While the names
upon the printed ticket were those of
prominent and respected citizens, still
he thought it could be improved
upon. OF the twenty-five gentlemen
named, large number of them had not
thought enough of the Association to attend
this meeting. If they are not enthusiastic
OF this meeting, will they ever be, and are
we sure that they will at any meeting IN
the future favor us with their presence?
If the naming of this ticket is part of the
programme of this meeting, then the COM

to depart from this printed list. Let US
have square deal, and put none to the fore
but those who are active, energetic and are
disposed to do something.
The Secretary. Mr.. Coleman, said that
Mr.. Gallatin was present early in the even
ing and had been excused. G. w. Chesley
and DR.. w. r. Cluness had sent letters to
the Secretary stating they were with the
moveme nt and gave good excuses for their
non-attendance.
p. E. Plat said one of the printed tickets
had been handed him when he entered the
building. He did not approve of that kind
of work, bnt supposed it was done in good
faith. 1t looks little like cut and dried
programme.
E. W. Maslin was opposed to the naming
of the committee if its duty was simply to
recommend a ticket that had been put in
by parties interested. If the Association
was not competent to select its own officers
without the usual log-rolling political tao
tics, then it had better adjourn sine die.
L. l.. Lewis said he brought some of the
tickets to the meeting. They had come
to him through the mail. He did not
know who was the author of the ticket.
J. 0. Coleman said he knew the author
of the ticket. That gentleman name did
not appear upon the ticket. He had paid
r IL l.. i IzcA II
space for scratching He had done this to
OF bulldozing" anybody. Mr.. Coleman
said he doubted the propriety of such &C
ton, but he was sure that no wrong was
intended.

out an opposing vote, and the Chair APP
pointed as such committee P. E. Plat, Dr.
F. F. Tebbets, l.. L. Lewis, J. NJ. Avery,
